>>IMG, Colymar was a clan chief before his settlement in DP. Decide
what suit the best for your game. The Black Spear clan is the nickname
of the Anmangarn clan when they were given the responsibility to keep
the Black Spear at the time of king Korlmar (SKoH p275). More info about
this clan can be found in "Sartar Companion" p48.

>>Many assumptions exist about this. Some of them link the weapon to
the Kitori and the Kingdom of Night. Info about Kitori and KoN can be
found about in Sartar Companion (p245) or in "History of the Heortling
People" p105. But the details on how Colymar got the Black Spear are
pretty open.

Again here, do what suit the most to you game.
Have a good game :-) !
